Does HiPE automatically spread (spawn) a program across multiple cores?
For example, if I have a function:
test(A, B) ->
{A + B, A * B}.
Will HiPE convert it into something like the following?
test(A, B) ->
PidThis = self(),
Pid1 = spawn(fun() -> PidThis ! {self(), A + B} end),
Pid2 = spawn(fun() -> PidThis ! {self(), A * B} end),
Tmp1 = receive {Pid1, Result1} -> Result1 end,
Tmp2 = receive {Pid2, Result2} -> Result2 end,
{Tmp1, Tmp2}.
I suspect not, but I cannot find any confirmation. My Google-fu is
very weak this evening. :-/
Thanks in advance,
Philip
